They didn't kill anything. Go buy a 360/PS3 if you don't want to play Excercise games. Nintendo don't own gaming. This is why the market is segmented.

Nintendo didn't kill hardcore gaming,rather,they just don't seem to be catering to their most loyal fanbase(hardcore gamers)anymore. I honestly thought to myself "Miyamotos new game may very well be a revolution in gaming" but when I saw Wii Fit,well,no comment.

Exactly what I was thinking of typing as well. I mean, just cause they're attempting(successfully too) to reach out to a new audience, doesn't mean they forgot about the ones who've stuck with them for so long. Unfortunately for Nintendo(like they care), it's a Lose/Lose situation when it comes to fanboys/critics.

We've already established (above)who killed hardcore gaming and ravished its mother. It was me. End of story. /thread.

Casual sales do not "kill hardcore gaming". In fact, they really have nothing to do with "hardcore gaming" at all. As long as there's a market for it, it will continue to exist, so you'll have all the BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM games you could ever want. WiiFit is not a game, it's an excercise application and a toy. Consoles can be used for more than just games. Shock, awe.

This kind of response is typical when new people are invited to the club.Consoles used to be only for gamers, and now that Nintendo is inviting the casuals and non-gamers to the party, people are kicking up a fuss claiming it's ruining it.

Gamers are the only ones who would kill hardcore gaming, by choosing games to buy or not buy..Sales talk, developers/corporations listen.
